Do you like making videos? Want to make a viral video commercial for Other World Computing that’s about 30 to 60 seconds long and have a chance to win a grand prize worth over US$12,000? The good folks at OWC (over at MacSales.com) started taking entries last Friday for an amazing competition and you have until June 30, 2015 to submit your video. After that, the public has an opportunity to vote on their favorite video between July 7 and 31, and then the lucky winner and a runner-up will be announced on August 10, 2015.
What entrants need to do is create an ad between 30 and 60 seconds long that tells the world why OWC solutions are the key to unlocking true creative potential. There are three possible themes to guide you:
- Everything is Possible
- Go Further
- The Speed to Create. The Capacity to Dream
So what does the grand prize winner get her or his hands on?
- Apple Mac Pro 3.5 GHz, 6-core
- 4K Monitor
- One year subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud
- Avid Artist Transport Console
- Avid Artist Color Control Surface
- NewerTech Wireless Keypad
- OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock
- OWC Aura Pro 2TB SSD
- Envoy Enclosure for Mac Pro SSDs
- OWC ThunderBay 4 16TB RAID
- 64GB OWC Memory for Mac Pro

The runner-up prize isn’t too shabby, either — it’s a 16TB ThunderBay 4 and an OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock. I know that Apple World Today readers are a creative bunch, so let’s see one of you win this prize so you can help us out with our video endeavors.
